Barter Island Long Range Radar Station Airport
Barter Island Long Range Radar Station Airport is not a typical civilian facility but an airstrip attached to a remote Alaska radar installation on Barter Island, along the state's Arctic coastline. Coded BTI, the airfield sits a mere 2 feet above sea level, on a small barrier island in the Beaufort Sea. A single runway serves the site, primarily supporting military and logistics flights tied to the radar station rather than scheduled passenger service. Access to BTI is limited almost entirely to personnel and supply operations connected to the installation, with little to no regular commercial air traffic passing through this isolated Arctic outpost.
